Guests find themselves escorted to their reserved table by a tuxedoed waiter in full tails after passing the marble columns that mark the entrance to the Palm Court as they are seated at elegantly appointed tables completed with china created just for this room.

The ceremony includes unlimited amounts of tea steeped in silver pots accompanied by matching strainers and cream containers. Reservations are mandatory for the various seatings that are scheduled every afternoon. Your trip of a lifetime to London, England may not be complete without including Tea at the Ritz Hotel one afternoon.
